HOT & cold Water SErvices
William Duce Ltd is a specialist plumbing contractor with over 30 years of experience in the delivery of water supplies, sanitaryware installations and above ground drainage. We specialise in the installation, repair, service and maintenance of an extensive range of plumbing systems, from standard commercial facilities to industrial and leisure facilities.
We are highly experienced in providing different types of water heaters such as gas, electric, oil and renewable. We specialise in the diagnosis of any issues and providing a professional solution. Hot water services are critical to many commercial organisations for processing and welfare purposes.
We can carry out a comprehensive site water survey to evaluate what treatment processes you require and design a tailored schedule. This will help to cut maintenance expenses, improve operations and meet both environmental and regulatory obligations.
Our breadth of knowledge and years of expertise ensure that your business remains at optimum operation, regardless of the size of your premises.
Welfare facilities are a necessary health and safety requirement of most businesses; we can ensure you meet your obligations.
Legionella bacteria is most commonly located in water systems and can multiply under certain temperatures and conditions. Exposure to legionella bacteria is potentially fatal and is carried by airborne water droplets. If you are a commercial business with a water system in place you are legally obligated to carry out water safety risk assessments, therefore you must control this exposure.
There are different types of water systems in commercial businesses, and regardless of whether they are hot or cold water systems, the legionella bacteria can still be found. You must be aware of it, identify the levels of bacteria and control the growth and exposure. Luckily, we can appoint a highly experienced technician to carry out regular checks to inspect, clean and maintain your system. We can also advise upon further action if required, such as biocide treatments and other chemical controls.
Chlorine is a highly effective method of eliminating bacteria growth and the spread of viruses in water supplies; it has been used for years in many domestic and commercial environments. Water chlorination is specialist hygiene, and any organisation with operational water systems legally requires procedures to control and sanitise these systems. A water chlorination certificate is necessary to ensure that the system conforms to BS8558 and local water authority requirements
Air conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration.
William Duce Ltd has many established partnerships with various HVAC and refrigeration suppliers and has undertaken a number of schemes and accreditation on a full design, installation and commissioning basis over the past 10 years. We are a leading Plumbing & HVAC contractor in the construction industry, carrying out all aspects of work from design, installation, repair and maintenance. Using the most advanced technology and continually delivering up to date training to our already accomplished team of engineers, we keep up to date with innovation and technique. We can advise upon the most suitable system for your business, taking into consideration our client's needs, usage, budget and environmental factors.
A VRF/VRV air conditioning system is a system suitable for multiple rooms in a building; several indoor units feed off of one or more linked external units. This type of system is recommended for large properties where several rooms need to be temperature controlled as it is more cost-effective and energy-efficient.
We can offer design, installation, maintenance and breakdown cover for your air conditioning system. It is our priority to ensure that the investment in your equipment ensures you get a valuable return on your investment and that it has a positive impact on your business operations. During our design process, we will tailor a system to your individual needs. After installation, a service schedule can be arranged to ensure that your equipment is operating at optimum performance. Our team of engineers are available seven days a week to react to any breakdown situations that may occur, so you don't have to worry about any disruption within your operations.
One of the most critical parts of an air conditioning system is regular maintenance. Dirt and grime can quickly become built up within the filter, restricting airflow and resulting in the unit not operating efficiently. It can also carry dirt somewhere else within the system and cause additional issues. Regular maintenance and F-Gas checks will also help you comply with the F-Gas regulations.
There are two types of coils within an air conditioning system, an evaporator coil and a condenser coil. both work together to act as a heat-exchanger. They are designed to transfer heat/cool energy to the air through the use of refrigerant to cool or heat the air and deliver it around the building.
Heat recovery uses low energy but is highly efficient way to heat commercial buildings. it is a simple system designed to filter, fresh air and extract stagnant air. The heat recovery element saves money and energy by transferring heat that would be otherwise lost to incoming airflow. We, therefore, recommend a heat recovery system as a cost-effective investment.
The central unit of an HVAC system is the air handling unit; It is crucial as it moves air around the ductwork. Like other critical features of an air conditioning system, obstructions can occur and restrict airflow. Regular maintenance is imperative.
A clean filter will ensure that the coils remain clean. If there is a build-up on the coil, it will lose its ability to absorb heat because the dirt acts as an insulator, meaning that your equipment is not efficient and is consequently wasting energy and money. Coil and filter maintenance is an integral part of our service maintenance schedules. We build this into regular maintenance visits to ensure your system is always running at optimum and so that you can get the most benefit in terms of your investment.
HEATING
Our team of highly experienced engineers are on hand to troubleshoot and solve your commercial or domestic repair issues or simply service your system. By deciding to work with us, you leave your heating system in the hands of industry experts. We will ensure that your system runs to maximum efficiency and that you are fully compliant with industry standards.
All boilers, gas, oil and LPG must be regularly maintained to keep them functioning at their highest level and safeguard against sudden breakdowns. We specialise in the installation, maintenance and repair of all aspects of commercial heating and can plan a preventative schedule that ensures your system is protected.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
The EU 2009 Renewable Energy Directive and recent climate change have placed an obligation on the UK to significantly reduce its carbon footprint by 2025 and beyond. Rightly so, sustainable energy solutions are a growing fundamental in building projects to meet regulations.
We specialise in the design and installation of air source heat pumps. Therefore, we believe that renewable energy solutions that satisfy these efforts and the requirements of our clients must be delivered to the highest performance levels, while also maximising cost benefits.
